Hello and welcome from the Ocean Society of Berkeley!
We’re a club on the University of California, Berkeley campus that works to bring the ocean a little bit closer to students. We meet once a week to discuss ocean-related topics and participate in fun activities. We go on a lot of trips, generously funded by the Ramsden fund within the Department of Earth and Planetary Science, and have traveled to locations such as Point Lobos, the Seymour Marine Center in Santa Cruz, the Point Bonita Lighthouse, and lots of local beaches. We also engage in activism by working closely with sustainability initiatives on the Cal campus and by working in primary schools nearby with the Bay Area Science in Schools (BASIS) program. If any of those sound like something you’d be interested in, join us at any one of our weekly meetings and we’d love to get to know you.
Meetings during Spring 2022: Tuesdays at 6:30 PM

“If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up people to collect wood and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea” – Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
We are a student group acting independently of the University of California. We take full responsibility for our organization and this web site.
